After playing something for 10 minutes or so my screen goes black, makes a buzzing noise, and i have to force restart or it may restart it self it only did this in rare cases but today it's happen about 6 times, it won't let me play anything without a black or white screen crash for long,

If your PC stays on, and the only thing that happens is that your monitor goes black and the LED that shows the monitor status starts flashing from 'on' (green) to off (orange/red), it is probably your GPU crashing. If it was your power supply, your entire PC would shut down.

BTW, if any other hardware part were to catastrophically fail, your PC would also shut down. So it's kind of easy to pinpoint your GPU.

As a sidenote, do you also use software that influences your graphics? Like, f.lux? f.lux has caused a lot of GPU f***-ups for me when I was playing graphically demanding games. I have to turn it off if I want my triple monitor setup and play a graphically demanding game and watch a Twitch stream on the side.

Well, i guess it isn't the power supply, because it stays on, cause i have to force restart, but i'm trying to find out if it really is the card, or rather, what else COULD it be.

an nvidia 1050 Ti i'm usually just playing a game and just during it, it will freeze and restart, does not happen with anything else except the games i play. nothing else is plugged into it. and night mode wasn't actually activated yet as that only happens at 9 my time.
